Turbo blown on a car bought two months ago - who covers costs?

I bought an 09 plate Audi A4 TDI two months ago from a non Audi garage but the turbo has blown already.

The one thing that isn't covered by the warranty. Can I get my money back or the bill paid for by the garage I bought it from or Audi?

The dealer who sold it to you has to fix it or give you your money back.
